I am a living immortal.

Although he appears to be gentle and easy-going on the surface, that is just on the surface.

Few people knew the Crown Prince's true intentions; otherwise, his position wouldn't be as secure as a rock. The current Emperor didn't have only one son, but he only had one Crown Prince. The difference between primogeniture and inferiority was significant.

Various gazes penetrated the lifted corner of the curtain and fell on him.

Curious, puzzled, or even amused...

Wait, interesting? The prince frowned. Since his teenage years, he had been able to face various gazes calmly and could also keenly sense the emotions of the people being stared at.

The emotion of "interesting" should not appear in such occasions.

So he tilted his head for the first time and tried to follow his line of sight.

Meeting Su Mu's gaze, she smiled softly and looked away. This prince was more interesting than she had imagined.

However, the prince's frown deepened. The look was frank, not about his identity, but about who he was. It made him feel embarrassed, like he'd been seen through. He'd expected to be furious, but that faint smile seemed to have a magical power, soothing his anger. It was a feeling he'd never experienced before.

But when he was stunned and looked again, the person had disappeared in the crowd.

The prince then reached out and knocked on the Jade Sedan. Soon, an old eunuch in camel-colored clothes came up to the Jade Sedan in a few steps, listened attentively, nodded hesitantly, and left the procession.

Chen Tao also looked away at this moment. After the initial astonishment, he actually came up with an idea that even he himself couldn't believe - that was it.

That's it...

I must have been with the old goat for too long, so I threw this rude thought out of my mind.

Look at the three bored people.

The streets were packed with people, many of whom had no idea who was there, simply coming to watch the excitement. In such an environment, it was hard to make sense of it, and even if you could, your limited vocabulary wouldn't be enough to describe it.

"Speaking of which, is the prince so confident that he is so blatant? Isn't he afraid of being assassinated?" Chen Tao asked curiously, then looked at Su Mu's subtle smile, and combined with the fact that he had just looked at the guards, he immediately reacted.

"It seems you are not stupid." The old goat laughed.

To say the Crown Prince was safe was absolutely impossible. Even if his position as Crown Prince was secure, everything was meaningless once he died. Forget about securing the throne; even if he became Emperor, those who wanted him dead would still want him dead, though they would be more cautious.

And now this prince hasn't even become emperor yet, but he's a radical. How could he possibly not have any enemies? He probably has many, many enemies. The conservatives won't give up, that's for sure.

It is no exaggeration to say that the prince's plan is bold.

The damage is far from trivial. While there's no way to prevent it on the surface, there are also underhanded tactics being used behind the scenes. The prince likely knows this, which is why he's openly appearing on the street, undisguised. This demonstrates confidence and determination. Even the most cautious can slip up. No one can guarantee absolute certainty; a single failure could mean the difference between life and death.

But the prince was still so calm.

So Su Mu looked at the other person and found it very interesting. This was an extreme contrast with his appearance.

Chen Tao tensed up amid the faint smiles of these people.

The old goat patted the other man's shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. Your wound is about to split open."

"how do you know!!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief. This excitement was full of ups and downs. Wait, why should he breathe a sigh of relief?

"Let's go find a good spot to watch the fun," the old goat said, giving the mirage dragon a strange look. He felt like he had become dull after going out, and he didn't even react to his presumptuous look.

Su Mu explained, "He's digesting his gains this time. He'll probably be like this for a while, waking up from time to time."

"It seems like there are a lot of good things in the Ghost Market of Youxu?"

"Yes, there are a lot of good things. I brought them for you too. I'll give them to you later. They will suit you very well."

"If you give me a saddle later, I will get angry with you." The old goat looked at Su Mu with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Don't worry, it's not a saddle. That's a good idea, but unfortunately there are no such things in the ghost market."

Chen Tao was listening to this chaotic conversation, somewhat bewildered. What digestion, what saddle, what ghost market?

Is there such a thing as a ghost market in this world? I have never heard of it.

The two of them did not avoid Chen Tao in their conversation.

Chen Tao didn't know, nor did he care. Honestly, he was quite familiar with the old goat, but not with Su Mu or the dazed Mirage Dragon, and neither of them felt awkward. He was a social butterfly.

The old goat hadn't asked about his affairs. This way of getting along, while somewhat distant, was comfortable. Just like this time, when the old goat noticed his injuries, he didn't ask how they happened, if he was alright, or if he needed medical attention. It was a tacit understanding; as adults, they didn't need to talk about some of the nonsense.

Everyone has secrets.

The three of them went up to a restaurant, which was very tall. From the highest point, they could see a large street.

Su Mu looked at the old goat, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, somewhat puzzled.

But the old goat understood instantly. Su Mu was stunned for a moment because he rarely went to the restaurant with the old goat, because the old goat rarely transformed into a human. No, not rarely, he never transformed into a human at all. Usually, when Su Mu went to the restaurant, the old goat went to the stables. He didn't care whether they went to the restaurant or the stables.

After a long time, he even forgot that they could actually become human together.

Then there was the old goat's strength... Su Mu had no idea what kind of state he was in, as he was hiding it a bit too deeply and was too lazy to take action. Usually when he was about to fight, he would just lean behind Su Mu, leisurely eating grass, and watching Su Mu fight the enemy to the death.

"Did you think I was going to the stables?"

"Yes, hehe!" Su Mu laughed a few more times.

"You really are..." The old goat now understood how Chen Tao felt. If he couldn't beat him, he would definitely beat Su Mu.

Chen Tao was even more confused, somewhat bewildered. He still wasn't fully awake. He could understand everything the group was saying along the way, but he just couldn't grasp the underlying meaning. He'd thought Su Mu was the most normal of the group, but he hadn't expected anyone to be normal.
